Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Salad
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or chopped)
- 1 ripe avocado (mashed)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Wraps
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado mixture. In a large bowl, mash the ripe avocado with the plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. This mixture forms the flavorful base for your chicken salad.
- Combine salad ingredients. Add the shredded or chopped cooked chicken breast, diced celery, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro to the avocado mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary to suit your preference.
- Assemble the wraps. Lay each whole wheat or spinach wrap flat on a clean surface. Spoon equal portions of the avocado chicken salad mixture onto the center of each wrap, forming a line suitable for rolling.
- Roll and fold wraps. Roll each wrap tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to secure the ingredients inside and prevent any spilling out.
- Serve or chill. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Serve immediately for best freshness, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient shortcut.
- For a low-carb option, serve the chicken salad in lettuce wraps or over a bed of mixed greens instead of using flour wraps.
- Add diced jalapeño if you desire a spicy kick.
- Incorporate chopped crispy bacon for extra smoky flavor and crunch.
